# Themes

Sandwich supports both Light Mode and Dark Mode themes.

Themes allow traders to customize the visual environment based on:

* personal preference
* screen brightness
* trading duration
* workspace setup
* multi-monitor environments

The selected theme applies across the Sandwich interface, including:

* tables
* trade tickets
* dashboards
* order books
* settings windows
* portfolio views

***

## **Dark Mode**

Dark Mode is the default Sandwich trading environment.

Designed for extended trading sessions, it reduces screen brightness and helps minimize visual fatigue in low-light environments.

Dark Mode is commonly preferred for:

* night trading
* multi-monitor setups
* long execution sessions
* lower glare environments

Enable or disable Dark Mode from the <a href="/sandwichtrading-docs/sandwich-guide/user/settings/general.md" class="button primary">General </a> Tab under **User Settings.**

## **Light Mode**

Light Mode provides a brighter interface designed for well-lit environments.

Some traders may prefer Light Mode for:

* daytime trading
* office environments
* high ambient lighting
* accessibility or visibility preferences

Light Mode retains the same functionality and layout structure as Dark Mode.

## **Theme Consistency**

Changing themes does not affect:

* layouts
* trading functionality
* account configuration
* algorithms
* positions or balances

Only the visual presentation of the interface changes.

***

## **Recommended Usage**

Many traders prefer:

* Dark Mode for active execution and monitoring
* Light Mode for reporting, administration, or daytime workflows

Theme preference is entirely personal and can be changed at any time.
